Susan McCarthy is an author, speaker and financial advisor. With over 24 years of experience and recently named by Barron's as on of the "Top 100 Women Financial Advisors" in the United States, she knows that the world of money is a world of emotion. It's a stage on which we play out all of our dramas. The lessons money has to teach us go well beyond the financial. They reach deep into our emotional and even our spiritual lives.

Susan McCarthy has witnessed countless stories where money and emotion were intimately connected. According to her, few people truly understand how much their emotions influence their money decisions or how much their money reveals their deepest emotions. And that is the message of Susan’s book, MORE THAN WEALTH- understanding these “money emotions” can not only help individuals improve their financial lives, but also their lives in general. Through it, they can create a legacy of compassion and peace.

There has never been a more significant time to delve into our emotional relationship to money. We are beginning to witness the greatest transfer of wealth in our nation’s history (an estimated 41 trillion to 136 trillion between 1998 and 2052).The baby boom generation is at the absolute crossroads of this “money in motion” as they inherit from their parents, retire and plan for the distribution of their own estates. They, more than any generation before them, will face the emotionally charged and financially confusing situations that place money in motion. They have the opportunity to change our very consciousness about money.

Susan’s message is in direct opposition to the very culture from which it has grown. Whereas Wall Street is competitive, masculine, and quantitative, MORE THAN WEALTH promotes calm reflection and focuses on the ways in which our money offers lessons far deeper than the issues of finance.

A financial storyteller, Susan McCarthy is a soft voice in the noisy world of Wall Street. Her unique blend of humor, personal reflection and spiritual insight offers not only a recipe for a better financial life, but also a window on an unusual path to personal growth. Susan really is the “soul authority in money management”.
